CHEMA

In keeping with our traditions, I humbly remind us of the importance of chema (a traditional gesture of condolence and support given to the family during bereavement) as we prepare to lay Amai Tendai to rest.

Mum was a remarkable woman who, in addition to Tendai, leaves behind a beloved daughter-in-law, Fadzai, and beautiful grandchildren, Tinaye and Shona — along with a legacy of faith, love, and strength that shaped Tendai and touched all who knew her.

Her eternal totem being Shumba Masibanda — lioness of strength and grace, guardian of our tribe. We now say: “Mwana wemhondoro warodziswa, zororai murugare rusingaperi. Child of the sacred lion spirit has been called home; may she rest in everlasting peace.

 

Sincerely and with love,
